- Domain (Physics) a region within a ferromagnetic material, composed of a number of atoms whose magnetic poles are pointed in the same direction, and which may move together in a coordinated manner when disturbed, as by heating.

Each domain has a corresponding 32-bit number usually represented by four numbers separated by periods, as 128.32.282.56. Each domain may also have an alphabetical name, usually composed of a name plus an extension separated by a period, as worldsoul.org; the alphabetical name is referred to as a domain name.

- n domain In function-theory, the region of the z-plane within a circle about a as center with any radius less than the distance from a to the nearest critical point: called the domain of its center a. For a power series (that is, a series of ascending positive integral powers, a0 + a1x + a2 x + …) if there is a frontier value R such that when | x | ⟨ R there is absolute convergence but when | x | ⟩ R there is divergence, the open region (R) [points within a circle whose center is at O and radius R] is called the domain of the series.
